Ciara (Finally) Confirms She's Pregnant!

After months of internet rumors swirling, hip-hop star Ciara confirmed on The View that she and producer-rapper fiancé Future are expecting their first child together (which will be his fourth!). The "Body Party" singer made her announcement thanks to some prodding by the show's creator, Barbara Walters. When Barbara asked Ciara if she wanted to confirm the pregnancy rumors, Ciara said, "Of course! I would love to, so..." and she stood up revealing her sizable baby bump (which she's tried very hard to conceal in the last few months).

Co-host Jenny McCarthy quickly tweeted a photo of her and the mama-to-be with the message: "Congrats to my girl @Ciara so happy for your bun in the oven." But even before the pregnancy announcement was made, Ciara—who is an only child—shared with E! that she wants a big family. So even though this is Ciara's first child, it probably won't be her last!

Ciara and Future announced their engagement in October 2013, when Ciara was gifted with a huge 15-carat rock. Ciara admitted at the time, "I think I'll be part Bridezilla," she told People. "I'm not going to lie!" Now the question is, once the baby comes will she become a stage mom? I say yes, because with mommy and daddy's musical talents, this little one is bound to be a star!

TELL US: Do you think Ciara should have admitted she was pregnant sooner when the pregnancy rumors first started? Or do you think celebrities deserve more privacy when it comes to personal matters?
